Advice to Senior Management

Try to keep good engineers.

Pros

Phoenix offers interesting projects and work if you like PCs and Linux internals. The other engineers are hard working and knowledgeable.

Cons

Management does not have a clue what they want to do, or how long it will take. If you tell them honestly, they tell you to do it faster. But it does not matter, because once a project starts, the priorities change and you get assigned to another project. The company hires freely, but fires and lays-off folks just as freely. Don't accept a job here, you will be sorry.

Advice to Senior Management

Leave before you run the company totally into the ground. The company has a long proud history, you should not be part of it!

Pros

The troops are smart and very hardworking

Cons

The exec management is autocratic, all decisions are top down, there is no concept of bottom up.

Advice to Senior Management

Mkae this a scalable organization by having people work their best. Make is a place where people work collaboratively - as opposed to doing backbiting all the time.

Pros

open/flexible work environment, can learn latest Hardware, software and firmware technologies. Have opportunity to co-work with best corps, like MS, INtel, AMD and so on.

Cons

Salary is not very competitive in Nanjing, China. No enough career development room for mid level manager, since all director level manager are from Tanwai, or US.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay more attention to local HR development, and grand more opportunities to local technique and management staff. And allocate more exciting projects, or products to China.
